STAMFORD, Conn., October 31, 2016 -
Pitney Bowes (NYSE:PBI), a global technology company that provides
innovative products and solutions to power commerce, announced a new
alliance with RCG Global Services®, a global provider of data and
analytics and business applications. The two companies will combine
their strengths in data and technology to offer financial crimes and
compliance solutions for financial institutions.

With fraud often as a precursor to money-laundering activities, it is
imperative that banks have trustworthy and accurate information on their
customers. As a result of many on-premise legacy systems and new cloud
bases services being used across the financial services industry today,
customer data in banking institutions is often housed in disparate
databases that cannot communicate with each other or synthesize customer
information. Without clear and concise accurate customer data, financial
institutions increase their exposure to fraud, non-compliance fees and
costly security fines.

By combining the capabilities of the RCG enable™ solution with Pitney
Bowes Spectrum® technology, financial institutions now have the ability
to access all relevant and current information about a customer across
their organizations. Having a single customer view facilitates
investigative efficiency, improved regulatory compliance and financial
crimes prevention.

Vincent Raineri, Senior Vice President of RCG Global Services stated,
“Our architects appreciate the benefits of working with Pitney
Bowes tools that are certified with major Hadoop distributions. Our customers
appreciate the benefits of lower costs and higher productivity in their
fight against financial fraud.” He added, “Our combined solution enables
banks to drive down the costs of regulatory compliance while
simultaneously increasing their capacity to manage their financial
crimes obligations through a simple find, link and visualize approach.”

“We are committed to bringing the most innovative solutions to market
with our partners,” said Mark Taylor, Senior Vice President, Software
Channels, Pitney Bowes. “RCG’s approach to coupling our technology with
their services, analytical capabilities, and business applications is a
unique solution which enables financial services clients to manage their
customer base and business risk more effectively. Our team welcomes the
opportunity to go to market with RCG Global Services.”
